Back to wright brother's days!






















The flight from Samneua to Vientiane was one hour duration in a small 19 seater and was full; It did not take even half the runway to get air borne. No beautiful air hostess, no safety instruction, just close doors and take off. The pilot jumped in at the last moment and was the first to jump out. It is a Russian plane with Ukranian pilots. The noise level throughout was very high; even the slightest tilt got exacerbated in my middle ear to earthquake proportions that in spite of my anti- motion sickness tablet and constant acupressure, there were moments that i wanted to give vent to the temptation of emptying the gastric contents. Did you notice the open window next to the pilot; No, no, no, he did not fly with the window open , only while taxying in . WHEW! Never again






It took me an hour to recover after reaching Terra Firma. So much for adventurism: I would not like to do another flight like this again.
